From the Publisher
These two short movements make use of the intervals of a 6th and a 5th as a basis for their themes,to reflect on the dedicatee’s 65th birthday. In its opening solo section, the Rhapsody ponders the passage of time reaching this milestone, and continues with the piano’s rather unsettling 6 – 5 reminder worrying away under the flute’s wistful melodic lines and recollections of decades past.
In complete contrast, the Rondo is a somewhat frantic '6/5' celebration of life; maybe to hint that despite the increasing speed in which a birthday seems to come around, there is much to celebrate!
Performance duration (approx): 5'30
